Questions and Answers
Why Aluminium?
Why a building made of aluminium?
Our lightweight structures are mostly made of aluminium. This is a sustainable and recyclable material, which is also inexpensive. It provides structural resilience that is comparable to other construction materials. It is also possible to erect an aluminium industrial building without foundations.
Rent or Buy?
Advantages of Renting
- Liquidity unaffected by high capital commitment
- If you know how long you need the building for, you only pay rent for this time
- If the exact rental period is not known the building can still be rented and the period changed during the contract
- With immediately deductible monthly rent payments, you can reduce your tax burden
- Rental agreements can be extended, the building can be returned or you can swap to a purchase agreement.
Benefits of Purchasing
- The space requirement is long-term and you need the building permanently
- Long-term investment with tax benefits
- The building is only needed for a shorter period of time, but you already have further use for it
Permits and Structural Analysis
Depending on the service life, the building type, how it is anchored to the ground and the local requirements, the requirement for a building permit will vary. For a temporary construction according to DIN EN 13782, the submission of an inspection book is usually necessary and no complex planning permission is required. However, planning permission is usually required for a more permanent structure. The building owner is responsible for obtaining this but we are happy to help. We work closely with a town planning agency that specialises in planning permission approvals.
The main feature of the mobile construction is the possibility of repeated assembly and dismantling in different locations. An inspection book from HR-Structures can be supplied upon request, which offers the advantage of a simplified building permit process. As a rule, temporary structures are permitted for a period of three months, although this can be extended. The anchoring is done here using pegs, but can also be done using dowels on an existing floor slab.
There are different fastening options that vary depending on the building type, service life and existing subsurface. Generally, where there is no foundation, temporary structures are attached using pegs. Where there is a foundation, dowels are used to secure the building and create a fixed structure. Further options such as ballasting or concrete-free foundations are also available. For more information on these, please contact us.
HR-Structures can supply various accessories related to fire protection, such as emergency exit doors, smoke and heat exhaust systems and ridge and wall light strips. What you need will be determined by the level of fire protection you want and the requirements of the fire prevention services in your territory. We highly recommend that the building owner commissions a fire protection survey and prior to specifying fire protection accessories for your temporary building.
Technical and Equipment
Aluminium framed temporary buildings from HR-Structures can be made with a span between 5m and 30m in 5m increments. The building wall height can be between 4.2m and 6.2m in 1m increments. They can be extended in 5m increments to whatever length you want or have space for. Special dimensions and multi-aisle solutions can be manufactured individually upon request.
PVC sheets
The sheets used in our temporary building roofs are made from industrial PVC. This is extremely durable and can remain in place for many years depending on the building use. They are easy to install and quick to replace or repair if they become damaged.
Aluminium and Steel parts
The main elements of the building frame consist of extruded aluminium profiles. These are specified in accordance with local building regulations concerning wind and snow load and the dimensions of the building and it proposed use. Any steel parts are galvanized for corrosion protection.
Corrugated steel sheet and Sandwich panels
All our buildings can be equipped with both corrugated sheet steel or sandwich panel walls. The corrugated panels are made of galvanized sheet steel. Our sandwich panels include a rigid polyurethane foam core between corrugated steel sheets. The panels are used in temperature controlled buildings and can be provided with different insulation thicknesses.
We can also supply the following building accessories:
- Various heating systems
- Various lighting systems
- Additional condensation protection
- Stronger roofs to support solar panels
Depending on the panels used for the walls, the floor finish can be implemented using sealing tape, bitumen membrane or other special folded sheets depending on the ground level surface.
Can They Be Installed On Slopes?
Our lightweight buildings can be erected on surfaces with a gradient of up to 2% along the long side. If the floor is uneven, a variety of solutions can be used depending on the project. The include shortening the side posts or supporting the individual side supports from below.
As standard our temporary buildings are designed to withstand a wide range of bad weather. This is based on a wind force of 0.5 kN/m² and a snow load of up to 1.35 kN/m². In more exposed or colder areas our buildings can be specified with stronger components to accommodate higher snow loads and wind speeds.
